Yes it is probably wise to go with a less expensive option if you are interested in med school.
I don’t know much about Georgia Tech, but had the impression that the main focus there is on engineering, STEM type majors. Does the school support your musical abilities as well? Where else have you been accepted? Did you apply to any schools where your stats would qualify you for full tuition like UA, Temple, etc?
If you would take a gap year and your sister would be done with school would that free up money for you?
@mommdc I’m doing a minor in music theory, and I am going to continue my touring schedule during the summer. I’ll also play for orchestras during the school year (such as ASO). Because I want to go to medical school, I figured that I would take the full ride at GT to save money for a more selective medical school.
